Somov,YefremovRevolutionary Military Council 10TsaritsynCopy to Raskolnikov

Itis essential to retain Tsaritsyn, it has withstood a siege
more than once. Strain every effort, inform us in more
detail, more often, we are taking steps. Hasten the
evacuation of anything not absolutely essential, and valuables.
Mobilise en masse. Don’t weaken the political work. Mind
you keep in touch with us.
